Two vintage Nappa leather bags with shoulder straps that can be placed inside the bags so they can be carried as clutches. Bag on the left is a taupe color. Bag on the right is a cream color, not white as the photo looks.

I would guess these are about 30 years old. This vintage has no authenticity tag inside.

Older vintage bag in dark red. I took close-ups of the font to compare on the oldest bags and tassels as they are often sometimes on the older bags. The straps are usually attached in a way that can be tucked inside to use it as a clutch. I apologize for the first photo--it came out badly. The true color is the second photo.

I have had this BV bag since 1980 something.

6.5" h x 6.5" w x 3" D at its deepest point

The strap is a 24" drop, however it is adjustable.

I bought this on a whim because i thought she was soo cute.

She is actually the color of the first 4 photos. The 5th photo is with the flash to show details.

Brown BV with tan suede lining -- vintage? -- you don't see this style much. It is VERY soft leather.

Vintage lilac bag. It is not a large bag - 18" at the top, 11" wide at the bottom and 9" tall. It lies flat, and most probably has less room than a medium veneta. It feels and smells like nappa. It closes with a magnetic snap, is lined in black leather, and has one zipper pocket. By all the markers, it was probably produced in the 70's but is in fantastic condition. I use it in place of a clutch, since I do like larger clutches.

I am not sure the year these were purchased, but somewhere in 1990-1992. The two small bags were purchased in Europe and the tote at NM in Dallas.

I still use this one!!
